MADISON, Wisc. – Forward Madison FC and Indy Eleven announced on Monday that 18-year-old Indy midfielder would join Madison on a season-long loan for the 2022 USL League One campaign. Terms of the arrangement that send the 18-year-old midfielder to the Wisconsin club will not be released, per club policy.

Torres made Indy history two months ago by becoming the first Indy Eleven player to move directly from a USL Academy contract to a professional deal with the USL Championship club. The Elkhart, Ind. native originally joined Indy Eleven last August 9, when he signed a USL Academy contract.

“Getting meaningful minutes is so important for the development of young, promising players like Alann, and we believe he’ll be able to get those in a competitive environment at the League One level in Madison,” said Indy Eleven Head Coach Mark Lowry. “We thank Forward Madison for working with us and wish Alann all the best throughout their upcoming season.”

After making his pro debut off the bench just days prior to his 18th birthday last Sept. 23, with an eight-minute appearance at Memphis 901 FC, Torres earned his first start in USL Championship play a week later on September 30 against OKC Energy FC, playing 86 minutes and helping the Eleven to a 1-1 road draw. In all, Torres logged 139 minutes of regular season action across three appearances last fall. He also assisted on Indy Eleven’s lone goal in a friendly against Chicago Fire’s reserve outfit during a 60-minute stint on Sept. 14 at Carroll Stadium.

After contributing mightily to Indy Eleven’s USL Academy League squad that captured the East Central Region title across the summer and fall, Torres continued to lead the side in the inaugural USL Academy League Playoffs in Tampa, Fla. last December. Torres was an All-Tournament First Team selection after notching a pair of goals and assists across all four of the team’s matches, including a start in the 3-1 final triumph that allowed Indiana’s Team to capture the tournament title.
